I don't see your point here, he DID wipe them out! If we were in a fight, god forbid, and you it me three times, but then I come and hit you two times, bringing you down on the floor, who has won? Who was beaten? Surely he tried, every single abttle was an attempt to wipe out the enemy present in Beleriand, but he failed. After the Nirnaeth Arnoediad he subsequently destroyed Nargothrond and Gondolin. After that, he thoguht he ahd wiped them out, he ahd destroyed hteir cities, driven them from their homes, slain their nobles and peoples, what more do you ask of him? Do you seriosuly mean that after the destruction of Gondolin he had not the power to sack the puny havens of Brithombar, if he ever heard of them. He cared not, he would deal with them in time.
If you read though the last chapters of the Quenta Silmarillion, you will see what I mean.
